When we talk about the administrative
officials in Negros Oriental State University (NORSU), we are more or less
talking about those people who are responsible, respectful, and cool—those
people who accommodate the students’ need-their academic needs to be specific.This is perhaps the
very reason why many of the students from the Visayas and Mindanao regions chose
to study in the university to accomplish their academic goals and journey—a humble
reason why NORSU came into existence—including the immense development the
university has acquired and etcetera.

In fact, when I first
step in the grounds of this university, I can barely recall therewas an
instance wherein these people fail to perform their tasks and functions. With
this, I thank and congratulate them for making a difference in uplifting the
standards of the student services. The help they have extended have boosted the
confidence of all the Norsunians to attaining better educational qualifications.With these things in
mind, I am confident that we can obtain the academic qualifications we desire through
their help. And perhaps this calls for a compassionate celebration to cherish.However, as the time
passes by, it seems frustrating that these people had to make themselves unavailable
most of the time. It appears that as the university grows older, new high breeds
of undeserving people are strewn in its fertile soil.It is also quite
alarming that the change of the administration has also changed the attitudes
of the administrative people which have abruptly resulted to a-not-so-good student
services. Some of these officials become lazy in doing their tasks, they are just
sitting down behind those unnoticeable corners in their respective offices; others
become‘monsters’ because of the promotions or designations they received from
the president. Several of them become very strict to the extent of jeopardizing
other’s work in office. Despite all of these, why do many people still remained
mutes?

From this observation
of mine, apparently, I saw them creating “a wall of separation”—that is their
services were made far from reach. Some of them made themselves busy even
though they are not. They were even hiding in the caves like cowards.Is this the kind of
people we need in the university? Is this the kind of people that the
university has produced that every time students approach them, they were treated like
strangers? I believe we don’t need these people.

Moreover, some of the student
service offices are suffering from the delay of their work because they lack
the signatories of the people concerned to run every transaction. If someone
went to their office for a clarification of a certain issue, they do not
entertain and simply put them humiliated.You see, it appears
clearer that they seem to be nocturnal animals that appear “once in a blue moon”
only. To my mind, all these things will not work for the better unless these
people aim to change their personalities and perspectives in life that they are
not swayed by the positions they hold.

If we continue to
support these kinds of people, we will definitely end up like wasting our
future in this university!That is why I envision all Norsunian people to be
active in knowing all what is happening of this grown-up university. Let us
participate and make a difference!
